Entre le Christ souffrant et le sourire illuminé de Bouddha, entre le sentiment d'angoisse et l'invitation à la sérénité, les attitudes face à la mort diffèrent, divergent souvent entre les civilisations. Et particulièrement entre le monde chinois et la culture occidentale. Deux intellectuels, Tang Yi Jie et Xavier Le Pichon, ont accepté de confronter leurs vues sur ce thème essentiel de l'existence humaine. Pour le philosophe chinois, la mort est inscrite dès le début de la vie. A partir de son expérience personnelle, il tente de la réinscrire dans les sagesses traditionnelles comme le confucianisme et le taoïsme, à contre-courant du marxisme des dernières décennies. Géophysicien et professeur au Collège de France, Xavier Le Pichon choisit quant à lui de traiter du mystère de la mort dans une perspective chrétienne. A travers l'évocation sensible des derniers moments de ses parents, il partage son espérance dans la résurrection. Mais au-delà de ces deux approches, le souci est le même de rappeler que la mort est tout sauf simple destruction, de célébrer ce qu'elle porte de digne, et, en quelque sorte, de beau.

The Tibetan Book of the Dead is the most famous Buddhist text in the West, having sold more than a million copies since it was first published in English in 1927. Carl Jung wrote a commentary on it, Timothy Leary redesigned it as a guidebook for an acid trip, and the Beatles "ed Leary's version in their song "Tomorrow Never Knows." More recently, the book has been adopted by the hospice movement, enshrined by Penguin Classics, and made into an audiobook read by Richard Gere. Yet, as acclaimed writer and scholar of Buddhism Donald Lopez writes, "The Tibetan Book of the Dead is not really Tibetan, it is not really a book, and it is not really about death." In this compelling introduction and short history, Lopez tells the strange story of how a relatively obscure and malleable collection of Buddhist texts of uncertain origin came to be so revered--and so misunderstood--in the West. The central character in this story is Walter Evans-Wentz (1878-1965), an eccentric scholar and spiritual seeker from Trenton, New Jersey, who, despite not knowing the Tibetan language and never visiting the country, crafted and named The Tibetan Book of the Dead. In fact, Lopez argues, Evans-Wentz's book is much more American than Tibetan, owing a greater debt to Theosophy and Madame Blavatsky than to the lamas of the Land of Snows. Indeed, Lopez suggests that the book's perennial appeal stems not only from its origins in magical and mysterious Tibet, but also from the way Evans-Wentz translated the text into the language of a very American spirituality.
